Wildlife Viewing

Game viewing:

Two game drives into the National Park each day. You enter the park by the nearby quite Gori or Tala Gate. You are escorted by local naturalist guides and drivers who know the forest intimately.

We enter the park before sunrise using; initially we will be looking for signs of Tiger movement, pugmarks and listening for the alarm calls of Langur monkeys, Chital and Sambar Deer. If the elephant teams have successfully tracked Tigers we will leave our jeep and venture deep into the forest by elephant, to gain fantastic close views of Tigers. Back in our jeeps we continue our game drive before returning to our lodge for breakfast.

Time is now available to explore the lodge grounds or simply relax. After lunch we re-enter the park by jeep looking for wildlife and Tigers. Just before sunset predator activity increases and Tigers, Leopards and Sloth Bears may be spotted.In-between game drives explore forest trails, which lead into thicker jungle and to traditional tribal villages. Chances to see some of the antelopes or other wildlife around the resort which is quite common

In addition to the Tigers, there are a wide variety of other animals and birds to be seen. From our jeeps you will see the fascinating Langur monkeys feeding alongside Chital Deer and possibly the more elusive Rhesus Macaque monkey around the edges of the forest. Crisscrossing the forest tracks families of wild Boar will be a common sight. If you are lucky you may see packs of Wild Dogs, which cross from meadow to meadow via the jeep tracks. As dusk approaches the large Sloth Bear, the mysterious Leopard and the shrewd Wolf, all present within the park, may be seen moving through the forest. There is the opportunity to spot many colourful birds, as there are more than 270 bird species recorded in the park including Indian Roller, Kingfishers, Asian Paradise Flycatcher, Brown Fish Owl, Crested Serpent Eagle, Yellow-wattled Lapwing, Alexandrine and Plum-headed Parakeets, Malabar Pied Hornbill, White-bellied and Greater Racket-tailed Drongo and Long-tailed Minivets.
